Visiting Smokey

Last weekend my mom and dad got to visit with my late brother Ziggy's real life brother, Smokey. 

It was so incredible for my mom to see Smokey again - she hadn't seen him since Ziggy passed. 

She felt such a connection to Ziggy through him and Smokey was so happy to see my mom!  He was prancing around like a puppy with her!

Sure do miss that brother of mine...

Marley Helps...

Marley told Mom not to worry, he has the yard work under control so she can just sit back and RELAX...

He did the weeding...

Look at the close up, no weeds!

He did the edging...

Yep, he edged all right!

He even aerated the lawn...

Lots and lots of air in there now!

Phew!  Looks like Marley wore himself out.
Thank goodness, I don't know how much more "help" my mom could take!

May Flowers

This is a re-do of a post I did the other day that Blogger seems to have lost during it's recent "illness"...

Mom's sneezing alot so it must be Spring.

Took a little walk around the yard and admired the blooms.

The lilac bush is jammed with flowers this year!

Tommy looks handsome strutting across the green grass.

Marley is thinking about doing some gardening.

Oh no, here we go...

Mom, better get your Xanax!

Hump Day

Oops HE Did It AGAIN!

OMD!!!! Marley!!! Really?????

You're gonna give Mom a heart attack!

Not So Innocent!

It wasn't me!!!  I am innocent.  The big boy on the other hand NOT SO MUCH!

Luckily for Marley my mom is pretty good at repairs:

So, from now on Marley, chew on this!!!

Guilty Conscience?

We didn't do anything!  I swear!  We're INNOCENT!!

This is Ridiculous!

Not to be out-done, Marley decided to upgrade to
Full Body Warmer!

My mom is having a hot flash!

North vs. South

Or New York vs. Texas.  You decide:

Texas leg warmers, Sam & Scooter.

New York leg warmers, ME & Natty.

That's my Mom in both pictures.

Happy Easter!

Like a WEED!

Marley is officially 7 months old.  Still a cute little puppy right?  WRONG!  Marley went in for his fix-it surgery last week and when he stepped on the scale bells went off - 90.3 pounds!  At this rate he will top off around 120 pounds.  Good thing he's a gentle giant.  Here are some pictures.  Every time we blink, he grows...

The cone head is off now but in case you're interested, this is called a Bite Not Collar.  My mom bought it because Marley was running into everything with the HUGE E-Collar he came home with.  This collar allows full vision but still keeps him from biting and licking what he's not supposed to bite or lick!  Two paws up for this product (free endorsement for a good product!)

Mom Visits JB!

I'm trying not to be jealous...  I'm trying to be the bigger dawg...  But it's hard...  Why?  Because my mom went to Texas a couple of weekends ago to visit the new human baby in our family - the little "Dude" is her great grand nephew.  Doesn't that make her seem like she's about 102 years old?!  Ha, ha!  I assure you, she's not.  Little Dude (that actually is his middle name) is so cute, if you like little humans (which you all know I do NOT).  So, I'm not really jealous that she visited the human baby, what gets me is she visited JB the Texas Kitty and all her brothers and sisters (and of course the human lady too)!  Now that just doesn't seem fair!  I like cats - I live with 3 after all.  So my nose is a little bent out of shape.  Mom did snap some pictures for me though:

Gaia was the 1st cat to greet Mom.  She came right out to say hello.  She looks so much like Libby but the pictures my mom took didn't come out so you have to take my word for it (she is in the background of the picture above with Charlie).

After a little while Armani came out.  He's huge!  And Fluffy!  And very, very friendly - kind of like Tommy!

JB waited awhile then decided to have a look to see what was going on.  I can't believe Mom met the famous JB!  I would have asked her for her pawprint!

Chester checked out the situation too.

And finally Charlie came out to say hi.

The only member of JB's Small World my mom didn't get to meet was Coco Bean.  JB's mom say Coco Bean is a very shy girl and she hides under beds when strange humans visit.  Mom was so happy to meet all the famous kitties from JB's Small World and it was great to see their mom again too!

Hey! That's My Car Seat!

No, Libby, you cannot go to work with Mom!
